I'm Nikki W., the breeder behind Hub City Aussies located in Spartanburg, SC. We are a small, in-home breeding program where we prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that we can. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love of an Australian Shepherd with other individuals and families!
Q. & A. with Nikki
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first two Aussies several years ago and absolutely fell in love with them! We decided to get into breeding because of how much we loved our Aussies' personalities, intelligence, and overall demeanor.
What makes your program special?
Both of our Aussies come from Championship and Grand Championship pedigrees. We also keep their tails unless requested by the new owner. All our puppies are raised in our home and are handled from birth. We introduce them to new things in their environment so they will be well rounded puppies when they go to their new homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
